ADD ADHD Testimonials.
In the spirit of education, this testimonial will start a series of testimonials on chronic problems that often are addressed by drugs or invasive proceedures. My hope is that this information shared with you will help you evaluate a path that would be an alternative to the traditional approach. Perhaps this will set you on a path to a life change blessing you and those for whom you care.

Non-medical interventions are being successfully used to address challenges faced by children with attention & behavioral issues. Many parents throughout North America are discovering natural, non-invasive means (focusingon sleep) to assist their children in coping with the difficulties that result from attention and behavioral disorders.
These technologies are the result of years of research by a team of medical professionals, engineers, and scientists.
The following 14 testimonials were collected by Dr. Margolis, a pediatrician for 36 years from Harrisburg, PA, who conducted an informal trial of magnetic products with a number of his patients with attention and behavior issues. The products used were Nikken’s (1) a magnetic mattress pad, (2) a magnetic pillow, and (3) a 4” round magnet, worn over the upper chest. Each patient used the products for a one week trial. The testimonials were provided by the parents.
What he did was offer his patients with ATTENTION PROBLEMS the option of trying magnetics to see if they would help symptoms. They specifically did this during vacation times so it would not interfere with school work.
They had the children’s parents fill out questionaires rating physical behaviors, emotional and attention/memory before using the magnets, while on them and then when taken off of them. 28 children completed the study. The time restraint of one week was basically due to a lack of enough products. Other children were waiting to use them.
Of the 28 children who completed this study 19 showed a significant improvement in scores with using magnets. These children all used one or more magnetic products. Of the children who did not respond Dr. Margolis noted that they only used one magnetic product. The question remains as to whether they would have responded if they had used them for longer than a week or used additional products.
(1) “With using the magnet, Christopher’s (age 10) mood and behavior was more even throughout the day, instead of the highs and lows on medication. It was new to have him happy and not fighting with us first thing in the morning. His grandmother said that he seemed happier with the magnet. Christopher’s appetite was so much better with the magnet - he ate almost all the time!”
(2) “Ian (age 11) used all three magnets: mattress pad, pillow, and disk. During use of magnets Ian appeared to be more calm, rested, and focused. They had almost an immediate effect. For example, on Saturday, Aug. 3rd, after having not used the mattress pad or pillow for one night, Ian displayed rowdy, impulsive behavior and was “out of control.” We placed the disk magnet on his shirt at lunch time and it calmed him almost immediately. Usually when we go to a restaurant, Ian is unable to sit still and plays with anything and everything within his reach. During the trial period of using the magnets, we went out to dinner on two occasions, and he sat quietly and actually engaged in adult level conversations with us. Although he had
previously been “written up” three times for poor behavior this summer by his day camp counselors, during this trial week there were no reports of mis-behavior. He received another written warning last week after the trial. We are convinced that the magnets may have a positive effect on Ian’s behavior and are interested in purchasing them to continue the “experiment.” We would appreciate if you would call us with information about how we can purchase the magnets. Thanks for the opportunity to participate in the trial.”
(3) “Ryan (age 11) was off treatment and medicine one day post-testing (magnetic products trial), and was moving back to pre-testing behavior. Ryan was more cooperative, calm, pleasant to talk to, not argumentative, during testing. He went to bed much easier. (He recognized his own tiredness). Ryan was not a perfect child during testing. He was more typical of his age, but showed more ability to be worked with, reasoned with. He was quite willing to wear the magnet. Our trouble was with tape irritation and sweating. When Ryan is on medication, he seems suppressed, extremely calm. That is nice to have, but I don’t think that’s really our worked with himself more to settle down. During testing Ryan seemed more like a “normal” little boy
without the attention issue that needs direction and encouragement to better his behavior.”
(4) “It was like night and day with him. He was lovable with magnets, and without he was up for adoption!” (age 13)
(5) “Shaun (age 9) said he didn’t feel as angry after he wore the magnets for 2 days. He told me the same thing after he was on medication for 2 days.”
(6) “We started Vincent (age 5) on the mattress pad on Saturday, and by Wednesday he started to improve substantially. His concentration and manner improved, and he did not appear to be as belligerent. He was even asking for some paper to draw on a couple of times, which he rarely enjoys doing. He was able to sit for longer periods of time and work on a project, which again, rarely happens. His attitude and demeanor improved. Sometimes he gets “mouthy,” which, again, did not happen from Wednesday until about Saturday. On Sunday I took the mattress pad off. Almost immediately he was back to his “normal” self the following week.”
(7) “After using the mattress pad we viewed a positive change. We feel this will be beneficial to Shannon.”
(8) “Sean (age 11) used the mattress and the pillow. He was pretty much the same, but possibly a little calmer. When we were exasperated, I sent him to his room to rest on his bed. He seemed calmer after a rest on the magnets. I’m not sure if this is a result of the time on the magnets or the time away from stimulation. Sean would take his magnetic pillow downstairs at times to lay on it while he watched TV. There was a big increase in appetite in the beginning ... that continued through the trial. While on medication, Sean had a little trouble falling asleep at night, but not more than lots of other kids. While on the mattress, he fell asleep quickly, and did sleep in every morning.”
(9) “Mike (age 7) showed no visible signs of improvement with the magnets. Please keep us informed of ANY other non-prescriptive alternative. We appreciate your concern and research.”
(10) “Paul (age 39, father of Mike) ... the magnet worked very well. It allowed me to sleep soundly at night and I was significantly more at ease during the day. The magnet reduces irritability and reduces a tendency toward impulsivity. I noticed the changes after wearing the magnet for about 4-6 hours!” (11) “Jen (age 18) went off medication for 4 days before the trial. By the 4th day I was deciding this is it. Back to medication. I didn’t even want to try the magnet. OBNOXIOUS and BELLIGERENT, her behavior was horrible. Still eating, but very restless and moody. We persevered until Wed. 7/10. When she woke up, she took a shower and we placed the magnet on her chest and hoped for the best. By Wed. evening, things were moving slowly back to normal (whatever that may be). On Thursday she was better than the day before. Did
a complete resume (wrote, typed and edited by herself, not with the usual 100 questions that needed to be asked) for a job. Totally impressed friends who have been a part of her growing up years. Thought she was a different child. Judy, my best friend and mother of 3 was amazed how much better she was in tune, focused on herself, and proud of what she had done. On Friday we went for her permit. Very proud of her, how well she was focused.”
I think we are headed in the right direction. Jen seemed pleased with herself. Hoping she gets the job at the daycare. First time in a long time she has been happy about herself or anything. Jen continued wearing the magnet until 7/19. A few evenings she chose not to sleep with it on. When she woke up it was quite obvious.
It took her longer to get organized and settled. Once showered and the magnet back in place, things improved.
On July 20, Jen decided no more medication; she would like to use the magnet (12) “To summarize my feelings about the change: previously he was highly agitated. That word best described his outlook and behavior. The mattress calmed him down considerably, enabling him to deal with matters with much more consideration. Our relationship improved substantially. By the way, I never told him about the qualities of this mattress. He only knows that I bought a new one because the old one was no longer comfortable ... the bed was expensive and I felt that buying it was a bit crazy, but it has turned out to be a great purchase. Hope it continues to provide John with the calm he needs to be more effective in life.”
(13) 14 year old Thom was an angry, argumentative, impulsive boy, who was also a bed-wetter. He needed to be told many times to do his chores before they got done and homework time was very unpleasant, with lots of yelling and poor study skills. His younger siblings (ages 6 and 8) were constantly on his nerves, and the battles raged constantly. “Immediately after starting to use the ... products, and getting off of medication, the amazing changes began. In 12 days he wet his bed only twice; his mood was mostly happy. His appetite, which had been suppressed on the medication, came back wonderfully. He has become a warm, friendly child who is no longer angry at the world, and has become complimentary to his mother, and cares about her
feelings. His chores are getting done willingly with no hassles; helps sometimes with the cooking and cleaning without being asked. The behavior of his siblings doesn’t bother him anymore, and he is now setting better examples for them. His maturity level has leaped forward, making it possible to have a decent conversation with him. He actually referred to his science homework as “fun” ... his mother couldn’t believe her ears!” Due to the marvelous way he has responded to the magnets and the happiness he is experiencing, the atmosphere in the home has changed tremendously. His mother, who works full time in the family business, used to dread the time she had to go home because of the stress and tension that Thom’s behavior always caused. Now she looks forward to going home, and is marveling at her “new” son, and enjoying him
tremendously.”
(14) “Our 11 year old daughter had attention and impulsivity problems, and used to be on medication for those problems, and used to visit her pediatrician every 2-3 months for various reasons. In July she went off the medication and began using (magnetic) products. She has not had to return to the doctor’s office for one year for a routine physical, and has grown 4 inches, gained 15 pounds, and is doing very well in school.”

Harold Stagner (distributor), MS Speech Pathologist from Indianapolis Indiana, ran two clinics for learning disabled kids. After theNikken magnetics helped him with his migraines, he began to wonder if they might also help his ATTENTION PROBLEM kids. 35 kids used a complete system (far-infrared pillow is a MUST) and insoles and all of them came off the medications in 2-6 weeks.

My son was 15 years old (9th grade) when I got involved in Nikken. He had been taking Ritalin since 5th grade, every morning before and every day at lunch from the school nurse. He had an attention problem, however, not so much the hyperactivity. When I joined Nikken I got all the family members magsteps and we all took turns using the demo pak sleep system. After my son used the demo pak for a week he asked me to buy him his own. He could not really say why, but it really made him feel better. After about a month or so, he said he did not think he needed his Ritalin anymore! If he had missed a day of Ritalin in middle school, we ALWAYS got a call from a teacher! We tried it for one week and again another week. He has not taken another Ritalin for 2 hears! I would caution you that if you lend products, be aware that they will probably not notice a change in a week or two. They would have to try it for a month or two or
three, so I would encourage you to have them buy it with the understanding that they use it religiously for 3 months with a money back guarantee. The child should also use the magsteps every day!

Adults also have ATTENTION PROBLEM symptoms. I suffered a brain injury a few years ago and was diagnosed with ATTENTION
PROBLEMS and the doctors wanted to put me on medication (which often happens after a brain injury). I knew I never had those symptoms before and knew one does not suddenly develop ATTENTION PROBLEMS at 45 so I declined. I recovered my life-long ability to screen out stimuli using Nikken products in conjunction with other energy modalitie. The Nikken products worked synergistically with the energy work. Now I only have symptoms when the stress gets too high.

Here is some further testimonial info from Lori Beardmore on the use of Nikken Products with children with Attention Problems: We have an eight year old son with ATTENTION PROBLEMS and found that a combination of modifications have been very successful.
We have been using the Nikken mattress, pillow (our son prefers the intelli-rest), quilt and insoles for the last two years. The results have been very good and consistent with what Keith's forwarded letter had quoted. He was always a restless sleeper and would flop from one
end of the bed to other throughout the night. Within about one to two weeks his sleep patterns had changed dramatically. He fell asleep faster, and would usually wake up in a similar position to what he had started out with when he fell asleep. He also began waking up
about one hour earlier. His behavior was much better. We know what sleep deprivation can do and we know these dramatic results came from the use of Nikken products. We have also incorporated Feng Shui principles in our home and paid particular attention to his
bedroom. (Feng Shui is the Ancient Chinese Art of Placement-balancing your environment to suit your personal needs-very similar principles to the Five Pillars) I am a Certified Feng Shui Practitioner recognized through the Feng Shui Association of Canada and through the Feng Shui Institute of Canada. If anyone is interested in basic tips to use for ATTENTION PROBLEM children I would be happy to provide them with an article I have written.

I have a 12 year old son that was diagnosed with a very severe Attention Disorder when he was 2 years old, the Dr's wanted to put him on medication and I said "no way" I did a lot of research on the drug Ritalin and found out way to much to be comfortable putting my child on that stuff, so over the years and a lot of frustration, we tried everything you can imagine and nothing seemed to work, Ryan was kicked out of pre-school and then kicked out of Sunday school and the problems just seemed to get worse as he went into the public schools, he was in special education and was getting D's and F's and could not sit still and pay attention at all. I had a very close relationship with the school, they had to call me at least 2-3 times a week and once a month I went in to the school for what they call a staffing ( I personally called it the FIRING SQUAD ) but in those STAFFINGS we would discuss how we were going to help Ryan make it through the school year and every time they would suggest that whatever I was doing was not working and maybe I should put him on Ritalin and every time I would say no I'm doing a new diet or a new behavior modification or something and they would just look at me like I was crazy. By the
time Ryan was in the 2nd grade I realized what I was doing was not working and gave in, I put him on Ritalin for 7 months and saw no great results, so I took him back off. At that time I was exhausted and just prayed to God that I would find something. That is when Ryan started sleeping on the magnets, I didn't know they would help that sort of thing, nobody said they would, but it has changed his life as well as ours and I thank God every day for NIKKEN.
Ryan is now a very focused, bright 12 year old that gets all A's and B's, and best of all we have a better family life with him because he likes himself and that is worth everything! If you asked Ryan what the magnets mean to him he would tell you that now he has friends and
people like him and school is easy.. WOW!!!!!!!!! I love these products. Ryan sleeps on the pad and uses the pillow (the pillow is a must),...and he wears the gold chain that keeps him going during the day.

I worked with a family with a boy age 11, who had been diagnosed with Attention Problems at age 5. He was put on a pillow and was able to cut his medication in ½ after the first two weeks. Single mother (Tereta Shaper) with a son (Richie) age 9 in 3rd grade who has ATTENTION PROBLEM. He was put on a mattress and pillow and after two months he is a different child and will soon be taken off all medication. He wasn’t able to sit in Church prior to having the mattress and pillow and now can sit quietly and comfortably. Tereta also wasn’t able to sleep and went on the mattress and sleeps just fine now.

This is a testimony about what Nikken products have done for my son. Since birth, Mike has had attention and learning disabilities. So great (he was so miserable both academically and socially) that we transferred him from public school to a special school for children similarly challenged. When he returned to the public system 18 months later, he was required to repeat 4th grade, based on their testing.
Every high school summer he has had to take two subjects in summer school because of the failures of the preceding year. In January of his junior year, he was on the verge of dropping out because he had to pass every subject for the final 3 semesters, plus 2 subjects that summer, just to graduate at age 19. That was quite foreboding based on his academic history.
Two weeks later, however, I was introduced to Nikken. The next day I bought him a sleep system, Magstrides, and a neck chain. That semester his D’s and F’s became B’s and C’s. In summer school he earned two B’s and then he continued into his senior year. At his last
parent/teacher meeting in the fall, his science teacher said "I’ve had Mike in class every semester he has been here at school and this is the first one in which he has consistently been awake in my class." I haven’t told the teachers about Nikken.Mike passed those 3 semesters and after 13 years and 6 summer school courses, at 5 o’clock this afternoon he received his high school
diploma! Nikken saved his life, ignited hope, and gave him a chance for self-esteem once again!!

Our beautiful 10 year old grandson who has been diagnosed with this "affliction" and been put on Ritalin (--what else?) His parents aren't much of believers in magnetics but are desperate (to get some sleep, I think) and were willing to allow him to use the products. We got a
twin mattress pad for him and a waterproof cover from Magbags (he still has incontinence problems). He has promised to try it for 30 days. Interesting note: we took it to him last Sunday night and he slept on it that night--he slept "in" until 8:15 (that's NEVER happened
before). His comment; "I don't wan to sleep on this anymore--I'm afraid I won't wake up and then I'll miss something!" Amazing. However, as I said, he promised to give it a try: "PopPop" bought him an alarm clock that he can set for 6:30 (his time to get up). That's seemed to alleviate his concerns! Thanks again for your help--we'll "keep you posted on progress" We are hopeful . . . we KNOW it can't help but help!

If you know of someone with children with ADD this will be off great help. This was forwarded by Royal Diamond William Todd. If you have questions, please call me at (859) 231-8447 or email at artnik7@aol.com. The following schedule is something I've been doing with my 6 yr. old daughter who had trouble focusing, sitting still and was continuously in trouble at school. She had a very severe temper problem as well and became violent when asked to do little things...like bedtime, etc. I began this system with her in April '99 using the sleep system-Nikken Pet Pad, Intellirest Pillow, and Kenkotherm comforter. I added the nutritional program the 1st week of August. I gradually reduced the amount of medication. She was taking 25 milligrams per day of medicine for the excessive activity and another for her mood swings at the time I began the Nutritionals. As of September 13th working with her doctor, she is completely off of her medicine and is doing wonderful in school and at home too. Take this information and know that this can change your life and you child's life? God Bless!
Morning: Perfect Start with flavored yogurt or fruit blended in. This is served along with breakfast, because she doesn't eat well. Also, give her Great Day/A.M. Formula (1/2 tablet), Green Zymes (1 tablet) Golden Orchard (1 tablet) and Emerald Harvest (1 tsp.). These 4
are crushed together and stirred up into Mott's flavored applesauce cups. (The stronger the flavor and darker the color, the better it hides what you're really giving them. Ha!)
During the Day: She wears the MagSteps and a Mini magnet on her chest. Evening: Golden Orchard, Green Zymes (1 tablet ea.), Great Day/P.M. Formula (1/2 tablet) crushed up and put in her meal. After dinner she gets a Perfect Start shake for an additional boost of nutrition. Bedtime: She Sleeps on the large PetPad and uses the IntelliRest pillow and the KenkoTherm Comforter.

Harold Stagner MS Speech Pathologist ran 2 clinics for learning Disabled kids. He had been awarded the Distinguished Hoosier award from the Governor of Indiana for his work with learning disabled kids, as well as special recognition from the state assemble. Harold
came to me because of he migraines he used to suffer with, and noticed complete relief by using the magnets. As he studied the magnets he began to wonder if the magnets would work with his ADD & ADHD kids. He started by loaning a complete sleep system (hard pillow is a must) and insoles for the kids to use during the day. Of the 35 kids that used the systems, all 35 came off the medications in a 2-6 would 'rebound' and be off the charts hyper while with their parents so that they could be calmer in class. Somewhere between 2 & 6 weeks the weekend would come, the kids would be off the meds, and they would continue to act calm. At that point the parents would have already talked to the Ped MD and rec'd approval to not start the meds back up on Monday. It's really this simple- Mattress pad, hard pillow, quilt, and insoles - mix in a little patience and you've got a winner. Have the courage to share this, there's way to many kids taking
these drugs! I have a 12 year old son that was diagnosed with a very severe Attention Disorder when he was 2 years old, the Dr's wanted to put him on medication and I said "no way" I did a lot of research on the drug Ritalin and found out way to much to be comfortable putting my child

I have lots of testimonials on ADD & ADHD! Although I didn't set out intentionally to work with children, I seem to be the child "expert" in my area, having 16 children on Sleep Systems, Magsteps, and wearing mini's (or necklaces), and have seen dramatic changes
in these children. Most of these children were on Ritalin, Aderall, or some other form of psychotic drug(s), and NONE are on them today! The last child I worked with - his mother stopped his Ritalin after 4 days on the products, and at his last doctor's appointment
(psychiatrist), the doctor told her the child didn't seem to have the usual "glazed" look in his eyes, and appeared happier and calmer, and when his mother told him her son had only had one outburst in 3 weeks, he told her he wanted to know more about the products! This
was a child who had serious outbursts (several times daily) over the littlest things!

A woman I know told us that her grade school son, who has ADD, was helped when she taped a mini on the boy's upper chest at noon one day. (Is it called the thymus gland?). The teacher told the mother that in the a.m. the child wasn't able to follow directions too well, etc. In
the afternoon he was focused, able to concentrate, & just didn't seem to be the same individual as in the a.m. The only difference? The magnet on his upper chest. Sounds as if it is worth a try. Personally I know the days I might feel "low" emotionally & I tape a mini there, things don't bother me as much & I seem to be more easy going. Hope this might help someone.

I am writing to relate a very exciting product experience that happened just over the last 10 days with a severely ADHD 10 year old boy. This child also had up to 5 bouts of night terrors EVERY NIGHT and also was developing an involuntary twitch in his face, and bouts of
violent behavior. He was on Ritalin 3X a day. The mother and father were nearly at their wit's end, as no-one in the house was getting any sleep not to mention the behavior problems during the day. I provided the parents with Dr. Margolis's study results on the ADD kids which they found hopeful and they agreed to try the products. (As an aerobics instructor, the mother had already experienced relief in her knees with the super-mini & k-therm wraps, so they were very open). I loaned them a set of magboys, a pair of magsteps and the travelpad. The mother was very diligent about rolling the child out with the mag-boys before bedtime which she said did seem to help him relax, and he slept with the travel pad, and wore magsteps during the day. She also cut down on his Ritalin dosage, which I had said she may need to try doing. I called after about 10 days, praying all the while that the products had helped, because I understood what a terrible stress this was on the family, not to mention on the little boy himself. Well, the mother said that after 2 nights, she and her husband looked at each other and said "We don't want to jinx it, but it's working!" The child had slept through the night every night, the twitch was gone,
he was able to stay on task in the morning without a fight, and his violent behavior was markedly reduced! Needless to say they are this little boy's life forever. What a thrill. Magnetically Yours!

P.S. I believe that if he tries wearing the necklace and maybe the large round magnet on his chest, and the magsteps it will help him more during the day and he could possibly end up completely off the Ritalin. It seems that getting a good, deep night's sleep REALLY HELPS.

Shelley has a 11 year boy who shows signs of ADHD. Shelley felt very strong about not giving him any chemicals as she had seen the by products of those chemicals in the jails where she was a juvenile detention officer and she decided that was not going to happen to her
boy. Shelley called me to see what could be done. She was willing to try almost anything as he was getting progressively worse in his behavior. I shared Dr. Margolis research work as well as what I had found out about the herbs and that I would be glad to help her and that she needed to know that they might not help but they would not hurt her son. This was my so called prescription: We put him in magsteps and a headband that he had to wear to bed and during the day as much as he could. The only time he did not wear it was to school. He was to take 1 vitamin/mineral tablet, 1 Mental Clarity in the morning. I told her to observe him at noon and if it looked like he needed another dose to do so but if he was functioning well to wait until after school. The teacher was also asked to give her observation.
He then was given a Restful Night before he went to bed. I waited about five days before I called to see how he was doing. Shelly was so excited when I talked to her. The teacher after about three days came to her to ask what she had done to Tyler because she knew that
Shelly would not take him to a doctor. She shared at that time what she was doing. That was about a month and a half ago and I keep in constant contact with Shelly to monitor the doses. Shelly told me last time I talked to her that Tyler was now reminding her about his
doses, especially the one at night, and that the headband stays on until he gets out of the car and goes right back on as soon as he gets in the car. Shelly is a school aide so she can observe him anytime she wants. Isn’t this great?

Hello!!! Our names are Steve and Jody Shapiro, and we live in Gaithersburg, MD. Steve is an attorney, mediator, team builder/ and I’m a teacher, artist, and mom at home. Our story on how we got into Nikken was that we were introduced to the company by our sponsor and now dear friends Steve and Lori Esrig. We were attending Ilea Esrig's 7th birthday party and I mentioned that our son Solomon had been diagnosed with [an attention deficit disorder]. Steve mentioned that Dr. Barney Margolis, a Gold Distributor from Harrisburg would be giving an information talk the next evening on these products. I went, signed up, and we started Solomon on the products in September. He has never needed medication and his school was amazed at the results. Also I’ve not had my back go out in over a year and a half sleeping on the sleep system, and I regained feeling in my right index finger after a racket ball injury 5 years ago which
damaged my rotator cuff. Our phone number is (301)216-2497.

We have a friend whose 4th grade daughter was having attention problems in school and just not performing as she should. We
loaned her a mattress pad, pillow, and magnetic necklace for her daughter. Here is her testimonial: When Ashley brought home her grades today, I just had to take the time to talk with you. Tomorrow will be two weeks that Ashley has been on the magnets you loaned me and her grades have already improved in every subject. She is much more alert, and she is
careful with her spelling without being reminded endlessly. Now she's picking up chapter books and going off by herself to read several chapters at a time -- before she hardly made it through a full chapter before she was bored. Out of 10 class assignments she completed last
week, she made 4 E+'s, 4 E's, 1 G and only 1 N. This is a dramatic improvement over the regular G's and almost inevitable N's and 1 or 2 U's every week. I was telling Jim, I found a book she wrote & illustrated while she was out of school last week. Nothing else I have done up to this point has made the kind of difference in her that I've seen within the past week. I'm convinced!

I put my 11 year old nephew who has ADD on the products and here is what I did. He didn't have a sleep system and wasn't going to be able to get one so I sent him a headband and insoles. He wore it as much as he could and at night. I also gave him the vitamin tablet, Mental Clarity and Restful night. He took one vitamin and one Mental Clarity in the morning and if he was doing well that day his mother waited until after school to give him another set. He took 1-2 Restful Nights before he went to bed. The reason I used those is that the book you can get at most supporting companies said that hops, valerian root and genko were recommended for those children with ADD. They also need a good vitamin/mineral tablet. They had results within five days. The boy would even get his restful night tablets if his mom forgot.
